Default RSR Ti2000 springs - sagging over time?

I've had a set of RSR Ti2000 springs for a while now. (Year or so.) I like the handling improvements quite a bit, but one thing I'm wondering about is the front height. I'd swear the front springs have gotten lower over time. The rear height still looks great, but the fronts have gotten a little too low for my taste. (The front end is looking pretty slammed, in fact.) Now, I could completely be imagining this, and they could've *always* been that low in the front since day 1. Unfortunately, I tend to not take pictures, so I have no good profile pics of the when the RSR springs were new. (Heck, I don't even have pics of it now.)

One interesting factor that makes me think I'm *not* imagining things is a local drive-through car wash here in my town. With the stock springs my car fit fine. When the RSRs were new it also fit through, but it was very close. Now days, it won't fit at all. (Too low...)

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has experienced any significant front sagging with the RSR springs over time (a year or more). Does anyone have any decent profile pics of their 350Z with RSR springs? I'd be interesting to see how they compare to mine.

I have had the regular RS*R springs for about a year. I don't believe that I have experienced any sagging.

Just check yours against stock if it way off then something is sagging. 26.81" for 17" wheels and 26.89" for 18" wheels. This is factory wheelarch height unladen. hope this helps you figure it out.

So you have rsr ti2000 springs so subtract about .6 inches from either one of those numbers and you should be in the neighborhood. If you are in a different zip code like an inch or more they sagging.
